Collection Record

Adze, Toki

Complete adze. The cross-section is lenticular. The surface is ground with flaking on the poll. There is minor differentiation between the butt and the blade as the surface changes from ground to flaked. The bevel is demarcated by an oblique ridge. The cutting edge is straight and sharp but it has quite a few chips along it, with two major ones on either side.
